(Rowland) Wells, 91, died Dec. 1 under hospice care at the Boise Overland Court Senior Living Center due to dementia. She was born Dec. 14, 1924, in Boise to Ralph and Sophie (Heinrich) Rowland, the fourth of five children. At age 5, the family moved to McCall in their model A Ford via the crooked, narrow dirt road from Boise to re- join other family members. Afterward, she and her fami- ly lived there for many years before she moved to Ore- gon. Lorraine was preceded in death by her husband, Frank Wells; parents, Ralph S. and Sophie E. Rowland; broth- ers, Leonard and Edward Rowland; sister Alta Fairchild; and son-in-law Russell Huskey. She is survived by her sis- ter, Fay Fincher; and sister- in-law Agnes Hieb; five chil- dren Roger (Denice) Clyne, Kay Huskey, Tom (Barbara) Clyne, Cindy (David) Williams and Darla (Roger) Hemmert. Additionally, she is survived by 17 grandchil- dren, 25 great-grandchildren and eight great-great-grand- children. Lorraine was a devoted mother and grandmother who possessed a strong work ethic and was a de- pendable employee from an early age. She proudly completed her G.E.D. in midlife while working as a school cook in Monmouth, where she re- tired in 1987. She was multi-talented and at an early age became an expert seamstress on a Singer treadle sewing ma- chine, which allowed her to make clothes for many fam- ily members and acquain- tances. On one occasion, she even reupholstered the fam- ily couch by herself. Annually, she and her mother labored in the hot summer kitchen to can many jars of food for use during the long Idaho win- ters. She was also known for remembering family mem- bers’ birthdays and sending money along with grand- children’s birthday cards. Church was an important aspect of her life, where she sang in the church choir and played in the bell choir, plus regularly volunteering to as- sist with numerous church activities. Throughout her life, she was a dedicated volunteer whenever her assistance was needed. Her talents led her to not only participate in numer- ous church activities but also to commit years of serv- ice to the Monmouth-Inde- pendence Food Bank as well as the Blood Bank where, in addition registering donors, she donated literally gallons of blood over decades. Long-term interests for Lorraine included sewing, embroidery, music, reading newspapers, magazines and books, daily walks, garden- ing and marveling at the beauties of nature. As she requested, Lor- raine’s remains were cremat- ed and will be interred near her parents’ graves in the Bell Cemetery near McCall. A graveside service will be held on Monday, June 26 at 2 p.m. at the Bell Cemetery where many family mem- bers are interred. For further information, please contact Roger D. Clyne (907-299- 4747). In lieu of flowers, the fam- ily requests donations be made to hospice in the loca- tion of your choice. Arrange- ments are with Heikkila- Carver Funeral Homer, Mc- Call, Idaho.
